You
can visit this and the others featured around the "Raindrops..." scenes,
in Grafton,
Utah. It's at the end of a dirt road leading south and west from the access
highway that goes to the west entrance of Zion National Park. You can't actually
see the one Miss Ross lived in, since someone burned it down a couple years before
we visited it in 1989.
It is
a ghost town. Like most such it has a nearby cemetery. Very touching to read the
inscriptions on the grave stones. "Kilt by injuns, age 3." The land
in these places holds mysteries and answers, and you can hear them if you listen.

again, Thanksgiving weekend 2001. Look what we found there: New

I'm
afraid that some of my "holy places" are gone now, too.
Riverside is all condos and malls, like Ontario. The Playas de Tijuana
course was taken by natural forces: a storm at sea washed away the westernmost
street. Some of the ghosts may be audible there. I don't think there is much chance
any will be heard at Riverside or Ontario.
Shucks.
Double shucks.
